MY TOP PICKS ON BEST DRESS AT SONA 2014

Once again, the time has come to the most celebrated day in the Congress and Senate where they flare their well designed gowns from different reputable fashion designers and or their respective top pics gowns. Definitely this year is no excuse for these politicians and their family member to flaunt.

SONA has been an avenue for these politicians to walk down the red carpet and show off their well desired gowns and walk the flame of their fame. They spend thousands just for these event either rented or owned. Nonetheless, it has been proven that the politics has been a battlefield and playground of the elite.

This year I have chosen four best dress that tops my lists and of course the top worst dress too.

So lets start with my top picks...

I adore Ms Heart Evangelista choice of elegant and sophisticated white gown. It is fashionable and definitely stunning as it captures her curvacious body and flaunt her elegant sweet Angelic face. Her Filipiniana is definitely tops the bill.

Ms. Kris Aquino combines color and bring her elegance on that yellow and black Filipiniana inspired gown.

Ms. Loren Legarda flaunts the elegance of tribal dress whith her boldness to show the truest beauty of the tribes of the Philippine society makes it count to be on that top list. Inexpensive gown but definitely a representation of the minority is totally remarkable. She has represented in many ways the minority by simply wearing that traditional dress. Though it is a fusion the thought of proudly wearing it is remarkable.

Ms. Elvira Echauz

Elvira Echauz definitely gives justice to the Igorot inspired Filipiniana and flaunt it perfectly with the simplicity of her make up. It gives her the flare of the Filipina look. She has indeed proven that the hand weaved fabric and design from the north can make it to the mainstream still classy and sophisticated yet simply and elegant look.

And of course I also have chosen the worst dress for the said event.

I myself is totally disappointed with the dress of Nancy Binay. She looks gargantuan and looks like a lady dragon in the circus areana. Though politics is definitely a circus arena but it doesnt need to be in flaunt in the SONA RED CARPET showdown.

Risa Hontiveros in her black gown topped with barong tagalog is a fusion disaster. The boyish look is definitely not working on her as she is known with her scarf which really worked perfectly on her but not on this specially played long gown boyish inspired look.

Lani Mercado-Revilla's safe little black dress topped with short sleeved hand woven fabric from Benguet Province. Definitely she's safe in wearing that dress however, I am putting her as one of the worst dress because I expected too much from here to be walking down the red carpet with her usual flamboyant entrance. It looks to me as if she's making a statement despite controversies her husband has been put into.

Mommy D's saggala costume made it to the red carpet too. Mommy D, unintentional maybe but she stormed the SONA Red Carpet drama when she made the grand entrance for being the last personality to arrive. I was expecting her a Randy Ortiz creation but not expecting her to have the fusion of a wedding gown and the details of Santa Cruzan costumes. She should have just wore some native dress and make her entrance with such class and elegance. I love her bag though and her hair simple but customary elegant.

Though I always believed that politicians should be wearing decent attires as they represent the countries look, I also believe that it should be inexpensive. The dresses should have been a little cheaper but presentable. It doesn't need to be more than a hundred thousand.

Devina Dediva: The Un-celebrated Girl Says Sorry in Twitter

Devina Dediva of course is a well known name for most Filipinos for her comment against Miss World 2013 and of course to the netizens of the Philippine Republic. She was also denied by Manchester University as the university posted in their facebook status that they don't know her nor she is a student or an alumna of the said school.

I went back to her facebook where she posted her allegations that Filipinos are maids and dirty and uneducated people.

The reason why I kept coming back on her facebook wall is of course to see if she continues to hate the Filipino people by working as a maid or a cleaner. However, I guess Facebook too found out that the comment is foul, below the belt and offensive.

I love the culture of India. At some point I even wished I had a chance to learn their dance, their food and their language (this is still true to date) I even wanted to visit their country because of what I have seen in National Geographic.

After this incident, I heard that she was fired at the school where she is working. Of course I feel sorry for her because she has lost her job. Then I also heard she is now facing criminal charges for racism.

Filipinos acted on the situation and deserted Devina Sharma or popularly known as Devina Dediva in social network, I myself had reported her in Facebook and sent her a message hoping she would revert back and say sorry to what she has said.

Until today I just found out that there's these twitter account with her statement saying sorry:

"Im so sorry @meganbata and to all the Filipinos out there. Sorry. I don't have a twitter account so I made one just to show my apology. India"

If these is truly Miss Dediva then I accept her apology. It's good that she sincerely asks for forgiveness and that she is sorry for what she has done. She made a mistake in social networking site and still asks sorry as well in social networking sites.

Am sure it wont be an easy patch for her. There were thousands or even millions of Filipinos who were hurt by an unjust and degrading comment and maybe until now there are still thousands or even millions who hates her despite apology. Well I guess it is human nature so my advise to Miss Dediva is move on, stop tweeting anything that can link your statement to what she has previously posted as a facebook status and in due time am sure no one will bother her anymore.

I hope that someday there'd be harmony between Ms Dediva and the whole Filipino populace because hating each other wont do any good to both sides. She said she is sorry so the right response I think is to accept the appology. However, there are times that we need to show we really are sorry before thousands would finally accept it.

I have forgiven Miss Dediva for what she has said against us (Filipino People) and hope the rest will. I also hope she finds a job too.

Here's what Miss Dediva has tweeted. (Hoping this is really her)

She'll have to face the consequence of her own action.But an apology is the best way to start it right.

Spread peace and love everyone! Let's learn each others culture and accept and forgive each others downfalls.

"LOVE LOVE LOVE" (Mala Kris Aquino tone)
